***Yeah, the MTST System was similar-- only it used magnetic tape (hence, Magnetic Tape Selectric Typewriter) and was about the size of a console piano.***


Wow, talk about strolling down memory lane. I think this is the machine I used to use in the claims dept of an insurance company. I would type up all the claims info - a tape was running through the machine putting holes in the tape. Then I would take the tape and put it into a phone to send out to the branch offices on the west coast.

Man o man, I could FLY on that machine. LOL
